SPOT LASERS:
Spot lasers differ from line lasers in that they project a small circle of light onto the surface
your laser is focused on. They are intended for transferring points from one surface to
another. This could be for making sure a joist or wall is plumb (vertical) or to ensure pipes
traveling from floor to floor are plumb. Spot lasers are most commonly used for plumbing
installation, electrical work, HVAC, and framing applications.
DEWALT offers spot lasers in both 3-spot and 5-spot. A 3-spot provides plumb and
forward-facing dots whereas the 5-spot adds a right and left dot for transfer of points from
wall to wall. A suggested SKU is our Green Beam 3 Spot Laser (DW083CG) with a high-
visibility green beam. This laser includes a single lever power switch that locks
the pendulum in the off position, as well as a built-in magnetic pivoting bracket to easily
mount the laser onto metal surfaces.
